Page 22: Filter Mode
Filter Mode IntelliFlo will calculate the required flow rate based on pool size, clean filter pressure, pool turns per day and cycles per day, and will control the motor speed to keep a constant flow. The filter mode can run cycles, power save or features. -
Page 23: Programming Cycles Per Day
Filter Mode (Continued) To set the Cycles Per Day: this setting, see step 6. IntelliFlo uses the Cycles Per Day parameter to calculate how much time it has to complete its filter job. You can program up to four start and stop cycles per day. The more time the IntelliFlo is given to operate the less power and flow will be needed for turning over the pool. -
